Hi All, My workplace has a dozen Win98 machines they need to replace. I have been trying to promote K12LTSP to them. The client needs are very minimial. One problem they would have is getting the clients isolated on their own network. It may be possible to Vlan them off for that. The clients are so physically scattered that re-wiring is not a trivial task. Floppy boot is also problematic because it is a dusty environment. Barring that, I considered booting the clients to Knoppix. I can remaster Knoppix and remove much (most) of what is unneeded. A problem I wonder about is having a lot of computers on the network all with "Knoppix" as the hostname. There's a couple of ways around this. Since the machines have storage, it wouldn't be too hard to save a persistent home directory to a FAT32 partition, and have them booted with the cheatcodes to read the info from there. K12LTSP does this by having everything named in /etc/hosts file. What would be a good way? thx Scott S.
